Funny you should mention this particular car. I just went and checked on an F-1. A friend of mine (that's much more financially set then myself) does exotic car brokering. Apparently the McLaren family had called him directly wanting to sale their son's personal F-1 Road Car (last one off the line that's street legal), still in perfect condition. From what my friend said the Corvette and the F-1 are about the only cars I fit in (I'm 6'8"), and the F-1's have went up in price from their original price of $900,000.00 if their condition is good to excellent. The one I went to check on was priced at 2.7 million after all the red tape and DOT conversions where done. Needless to say the poster will have to do me for now.
The guys show room was enough to make the trip worth while though with a 944 up on one lift, a new Carrera GT on the floor and a Ford GT40 back in the corner with all it's factory seals still unbroken, and this was in the middle of about 12 or so classic Porsche roadsters all in perfect restored condition. It was jaw dropping to say the least.
I thought you guys might get a kick out of hearing the new prices for the F-1s... I know I did. There's one on the Dupont Registry right now too for sale. Last I heard the guy was wanting around 1.7 mill for it... it hasn't sold so it may be slightly more affordable now at around the 1.5 mark.
The car currently still holds the world record for speed... I think (don't quote me on this) that it's around 247Mph... give or take. From what I understand the driver just didn't want to push the car any further. Every time someone sets a new record they take the car back out to salt lake and push the peddle down slightly more then the time before. I don't think they've maxed it out yet, it's just a matter of finding a driver crazy enough to do low level flight in a car.

Only complain about things you've tried and given your all, for only then do you have a right to an opinion and the wisdom to defend it.
